Bookings

Bookings are now open. Please click on the topic link in the table below to access the booking page for each session.

As we run our video conferences through DART (Distance and Rural Technologies), DEC schools and rural independent and catholic schools have first priority for bookings. However, this term we are also aiming to accommodate independent and catholic schools in sessions with available spaces.

If you are from a metro independent or catholic school, please email us with your expressions of interest and we'll endeavour to book you a spot in your preferred session.

Cancellation fee

We want to keep our video conferences free of charge. However, we had several instances of schools that booked places in our sessions last term and then did not attend.

So as not to waste our presenters' time, we will implement a $100 cancellation fee for schools who book and then cancel or do not attend. Please ensure that the session does not clash with anything in your school's diary before you book.
